YRS01

YRS01 on BP01

The YRS01 is a broadband noise and comb source that is capable of producing a continuous noise output from 9 kHz to 1 GHz, or a comb of frequencies within the 5 kHz to 1 GHz range, with step size being selected by the user. The noise generator enables observation of details over the full spectral range, while the comb generator allows for the reference signal output and noise floor to be viewed simultaneously.

The YRS01 is compatible with the BP01 battery pack, or alternatively can be powered using an external USB supply.

The YRS01 has been designed specifically to complement the CGE range of comb generators, and can be supplied as part of the CGE kits to provide a reference source solution covering 5 kHz to 18 GHz and over.

Radiated Emissions

For radiated operation two monopole antennas, optimized for different frequency bands, are available which attach to the top of the unit. The YRS01 is an ideal source for carrying out checks on open area test sites (OATS) and anechoic chambers.

The YRS01 is compact and battery powered, allowing operation as an electrically small source, which minimizes the effect of the YRS01 itself when characterizing the electromagnetic environment. The YRS01 is housed in a metal enclosure so that it can be mounted in direct contact with a metal ground plane as may be required by some tests.

Conducted Emissions

An N-type connector provides a direct 50Ω matched output, which can be used to carry out checks on conducted measurement systems. Two adapters are available as optional accessories:

The LSA03 provides a capacitive link from the output of the YRS01 to a standard IEC 320 mains power connector. This allows checks and investigations on conducted measurement systems to be made, for example using a LISN or an absorbing clamp.

The NIA01 provides an interface to RJ11, RJ14, RJ25 and RJ45 standard connectors for conducted measurements using an ISN.
